Synopsis

This program is read by Taye Diggs.

An audiobook about what it means to be a friend from Taye Diggs and Shane W. Evans, the writer/artist team that brought us Chocolate Me! and Mixed Me.

Friends lend a hand when they can
They help blend and mend
it doesn't depend on whether you're doing wrong or right.
A friend can send or lend a shining light to a situation.
Add some bright to any frustration.
On pretty much any occasion.

Two best friends do almost everything together. They have each other's backs. But when one friend sees the other treating someone unkindly, he steps in to show that everyone wants to be treated as they would treat others.

From the popular picture book team—longtime friends themselves—comes a real and rhythmic look at friendship that any child will relate to in My Friend!

A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends

Adorable, the unique voice: There's a strong sense of fun, although this isn't a comical storybook. Impressive to me is how the picturebook-appropriate short words are used in a witty way. A rap way. My favorite sample goes: "Jumpin' off the bus, don't get crushed -- the opposite of hushed." UNSENTIMEN......more

Goodreads review by Candice

Diggs and Evans have created a story for children (6-8) to understand how we speak up and out against people, including our friends, that do harm to others. That is the overall message I received from reading the book. There were only two pages dedicated to this message and I wanted more. Things I li......more

Fans of this creative team will quickly recognize the two best friends in this picture book as they go about their day and deal with some challenges in school.
